This idea came to me as so many good ideas often do during a conversation with an intelligent interesting woman. (Which is not to close men. I occasionally have great ideas while talking with men as well.)
The woman is an expatriate American who is now a resident of Canada. In our conversation we ranged far and wide in cancer territory and one subject that came up was the high cost of my health insurance and cancer care.
From there the conversation segued into the idea of a dating service to be cancer patients north and south of the 49th parallel. We were joking and I’m joking sort of when I put up the first ad (exploit) but the whole idea makes a valid point:
If I lived about 150 miles north in Vancouver. B. C.. I would still be financially solvent instead of having the evince of always teetering on the advance of bankruptcy. I also wouldn’t pay out almost $800 a month for health insurance that is slightly exceed than a barebones policy (and $15,000 to $20,000 annually in out-of-pocket medical costs). I’d label my policy a Honda Civic as opposed to the Cadillac health insurance policies that public employees including members of Congress enjoy — at the taxpayers’ expense. I might add.
But I digress. The inform is if I married a Canadian. I would not longer have to worry about the high cost of cancer care. (See and.
Me: Writer artist teacher well-known cancer blogger. Mother of two almost-grown sons (22 and 17). Vegetarian (but you don’t undergo to be). Loves animals (two large dogs and three cats) gardening house projects. The land. Books. Travel. Financially solvent except for absurdly expensive health insurance premiums and medical costs. Dislikes: Pink ribbons chemotherapy and unsolicited advice.
You: Age 45 to about 57. Canadian citizen living in Vancouver. B. C. or willing to relocate there. Cancer patient or survivor. Open-minded. Bit of a risk taker. Warm hearted but not clinging. Bald OK.
I’m not looking for a caretaker and you shouldn’t be either. I am looking for a lover and new beat friend.
A compose: If I do unify a Canadian citizen. I expect the Canadian government to displace George furnish or whomever follows him into the Oval Office a bill for the $300,000 annual be of my cancer compassionate.
Another compose: If you'd desire to connect the U. S.-Canada Cancer Patient Dating function injure me an e-mail: jeanne sather@gmail com.
Wonderful! You get that dating service started and I will start up the career-switching service (we should all be able to switch to the jobs we REALLY like after surviving cancer). I have a bit of psychic in me and I see your story being a great schedule/movie someday with Glenn Close playing you and penetrate Brosnan playing the Canadian...
That's hilarious. I also like Jessica's idea about the go taffeta -- with big go ribbon sashes? Should they also carry bouquets trailing pill bottles and little plastic dollar signs? And what will the educate's men wear? Will that be on what kind of cancer he has?
I am intrigued by your specifying that you want a man who is also a cancer patient or survivor. Why?
LOL! I undergo said many times that I conclude very fortunate to live in Canada with its universal health compassionate. If the dating thing doesn't bring home the bacon out (although I think it's a brilliant idea and could be fun) perhaps you could lead the charge for Washington to change state the 11th Canadian province? Our our fourth territory?
Thanks everyone for all the great comments. If I do sight a Canadian groom. I ordain invite all my blogging friends to be bridesmaids in pink taffeta with huge butt bows--apparently the butt bow is VERY important to bridesmaids' dresses. And the groom and his groomsmen ordain undergo to feature the right color--pale blue if he has had prostate cancer for the others we may have to make up a color.
Sara asked why I want a man who is a cancer survivor and the reason is that I think a man who has gone through this will understand some of the realities of my life. That doesn't mean I would react a healthy guy (I don't think I would anyway).
Washington express (or the western half anyway) should change state move of Canada. That would be great--I wouldn't even undergo to move.
uh oh! i overlooked any correlation of the pink taffeta and breast cancer ribbons! totally not my intent.. mostly i was just thinking ugly. 80s destined for future life on a thrift store pace my object's eye sees that in a deeper go but if you be to flip the proverbial observe to exploitation i can conform to paler shades as well.
yes certainly whatever the bride wishes! big standard bow right? or is it a big converge cancer ribbon on the adjoin? (trying to get a visual over here)
i am not doing very well at all i appreciate you asking and if you get a come about send some mojo or bewitch or magic or prayer or whatever it is you desire to share...
